10 on Tuesday - Trendwatch 2012 edition

This was one of my favorite posts from 2009. I meant to do another the next year, but it hasn't happened until now:) Here's what's hot at the Higbee house right now:

1. Legos- the one toy that everybody loves, but especially Ben. He could build all day.

2. We've been rocking out to this: Mahna Mahna.

3. We've had some spa days lately. Spa days at the Higbee house mean long back "massages" with our wooden back scratch-er, a facial mask (using Rachel's secret recipe of gogurt and honey), a teeth flossing so thorough, your gums will bleed for weeks, and a serious dowsing of Bath and Body works vanilla lemon body spray (which has recently mysteriously disappeared!?!). When finished, everyone dresses in their Sunday Best.

4. Crawling. Chasing this little puppy around never gets old for both the chaser and the one walking the puppy.

5. Crafting. Warning: These girls have a glue gun and they know how to use it! The felt craft book was such a hit, we've begun exploring more. Here are some of our favorites: Sockology, Made to Play, and The Re-purposed Library.

6. Coloring. Despite the underwhelming debut of the crayon maker, coloring has still been a top choice for quiet time for Susie.

7. The Library and reading. Just finished Where She Went (the sequel to "If I Stay") and enjoyed it even more than the first book.

8. Exercise. Part of our new years resolutions (See previous post titled "Uncomfortable"). Just started Insanity. The kids tried with us and by the end two of us were crying and one almost threw up. I will not name names.

9. Dreaming of Summer Vacation. Making big plans for a trip to the Oregon Coast, time with family, brithdays, warm weather, swimming lessons, no driving back and forth to school, and everything else good that happens in the Summer. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.

10. Homemade bread. This is our favorite recipe right now.

What's in for 2012 at your house?
